    @DavidAbstract Yes, most often this happened in a surgical setting eg the patient was under anaesthetic. Please comment. @Enkababu

    .@nedwards_1 isn't it that great policy ≠ action. Need culture change too, ie social pressure. Hearts & minds? @dr_fiona

    .@amcunningham help students to say "no"? An Amy Winehouse campaign song threatens:"They tried to make to do an internal, I said no, no, no"

    If I ever found out I had been examined internally without my consent whilst under anaesthetic I would want to see medical staff jailed

    @amcunningham @SmilingPamela the joke is, that many women do consent if asked beforehand. Some volunteer, so why not ask?

    @AureliaCotta absolutely but it is the arrogance of the consultants objectifying the women placed in their care
